    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    On version 23.26.7 the wipers are still painful. Now with this version, sometimes the wipers go flat out when simply activating the wiper wash function (clean windscreen BTW). It seems software alone simply won't fix the ongoing wiper issues that have plagued Tesla's for years now. Also...

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    indeed, The few extra kms can make the difference on some road trips. I learnt one thing when I was in sales.... You give/sell people what they want, not what you think they need.

    Model Y Tow Package available soon from Tesla Australia

    Agree, plastic cover pry's out easily on the occasions you want to use the tow bar. I didn't like the look of the Tesla handle thingy so I didn't fit it to the cover when I installed the tow bar.

    Does merlin prolift 230t work with Homelink? Or would I need to buy a receiver like this - https://tessories.com.au/product/homelink-receiver-kit/

    I have the Merlin 230T , and you will need an updated additional receiver for homelink to work with the Y / 3. All of the required connections required on the merlin are external so its an easy fit.

    Model Y RWD sound system

    Been an audiophile and worked in many recording studios with sound engineering all my life. When it comes to a quality source and faithful sound reproduction many people wouldn't know what to listen for and lossy mp3's sound just fine to them - and that's ok. If you never listened to the...

    Yes, Tidal is integrated into the Y if you have a Tidal subscription.

    Model Y RWD sound system

    I had an EQA with the Burmiester sound system and the Model Y is better, particularly if you stream Tidal. Spotify is lo-fi in comparison.

    Evie EV charging networks

    Moe becomes more useful travelling back the other way to Melbourne. Gives you more options. Today I travelled back from Cooma, charged at Cann River & tested Orbost (didn't really need to but grabbed 16kw) and then topped up at Moe and home comfortably to the Peninsula. BTW, If you like...

    Tesla 3 Windshield pits/stone chips? Is it softer glass than other cars?

    Pearl White and got Tesla to organise it, which basically means car goes to Tesla repair depot and they get their local contractor in to replace glass. So any issues they have to deal with.

    Tesla 3 Windshield pits/stone chips? Is it softer glass than other cars?

    When I had the model 3 I felt the windscreens were very soft and seemed too easily chipped and cracked. I suspect the very low ride height contributed to this being a rock magnet as well. I had the windscreen replaced within the first 6 weeks due to chips and cracks. I am careful about not...

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    I think the problem is more to do with their software and hardware implementation and probably their relative inexperience as an auto manufacturer. I had an Merc EQA EV for 12 months with radar cruise and autosteer etc and no phantom braking issues at all like I had with the model 3 with radar...
